I've been reading up on intermittent fasting lately, also checking out the leangains.com site. I've always been interested in IF, the science behind it makes sense to me, just never given it a try. I think next cut cycle I'm going to try the lean gains 16/8 split. I'm also going to start doing the 16/8 on the weekends right now while I'm putting weight on. Kinda thinking it might help negate a little fat gain.

Yeah see that's the problem, my grip is narrower with a sumo stance so my hands end up being right where the smooth part is. I've used deadlift bars in the past at meets but my grip is a little wider with a conventional stance so it's not an issue.

I dunno why the fuck they can't make a bar with gnarling all the way across.

I can really tell all the close-grip work has paid off, last 4 inches or so with 460 were pretty damn slow but I was able to grind it out. Was still pretty fast off my chest so I'm hoping as I continue to make close-grip progress my comp-grip bench should continue to go up.
